This is the setup driven by Team AtomicMods drivers in the 2wd Modified Class in World Cup competition. The MR-02 is a great platform and with the right upgrades it is capable running faster than anything else on a high grip track.

Mini-Z MR-02 ReadySet
|
|
Kyosho 30479T-B Mini-Z MR02RM Nismo Z 2005 Test Car
|
|
We start off by choosing any of the available Ready Sets in our website that come in RM, 94mm configuration. This will be the base platform we will use for the car.
|
Bearings
|
|
Mini-Z Car Ceramic Bearing Set
|
|
This car has few rotating parts and even though the bushings are smooth, they wear out quickly and provide unnecessary drag. We like running our own Ceramic Bearing Set. They are the smoothest and have the least rolling resistance of any bearings on the market. Bearings will increase your run time, give you a higher top speed, and allow for your motor to remain cooler throughout the run.
|
Wheels
|
|
Atomic Mini-Z White Dish Wheel Front 0 Offset
|
|
Atomic Mini-Z White Dish Wheel Rear 0 Offset
|
|
We are serious about racing, that's why we use Atomic's dish wheels. These wheels are lighter and stronger than their stock counterparts, and at the same time give you that "Racing look".
|
Tires
|
|
PN Racing RRR10 RCP Rear Radial Tire (10 deg)
|
|
PN Racing RSF15 RCP Front Slick Tire (15 deg)
|
|
A good set of high quality tires is very important to go fast. The best tires we have found to work on the MR-02's currently are PN Racing’s RRR10 rear tires and RSF15 front tires. These tires provide a good balance between front and rear, leading to a very neutral handling car.
|
Ball Differential
|
|
Atomic Mini-Z MR-02 43T Version II Ball Differential
|
|
AtomicMods Ceramic 3/32 Diff Balls
|
|
The differential is essential to keep the rear end planted under hard rear end load. The Atomic Version 2 Mini-Z Ball Differential with Titanium Shaft is our weapon of choice. The ease of adjustability of this Diff, in combination with our very own Ceramic Diff Balls makes the smoothness and consistency very tough to beat!
|
Atomic 3 Degree Aluminum Knuckles
|
|
Atomic Mini-Z MR-02 Aluminum Steering Knuckle II - 3°
|
|
3.0 degrees for the front end of the car. These beautifully crafted knuckles are a must for racing. The Delrin sleeves over the kingpin allow for smooth suspension action and the degree of camber has been picked to allow for maximum tire contact and long lasting tire wear.
|
Atomic Version 3 94/98mm Aluminum Motor Mount
|
|
Atomic Mini-Z MR-02 MM 94/98mm Universal Motor Mount
|
|
This mount is simply the best, most adjustable motor mount available in the market. It allows you to raise or lower your real axle as well as run your car in 94 or 98 mm configuration. We run it in 94mm due to its increased grip and maneuverability over the 98mm cars.
|
Atomic 94mm DPS
|
|
Atomic Mini-Z MR-02 MM 94mm SSG Damper Plate System
|
|
This is the ultimate hop-up for the suspension. With the additional stability provided by the Atomic DPS, the car can handle much more power and corner at much higher speeds without loosing rear end grip.
|
Atomic 2.8mm DPS Aluminum Mount
|
|
Atomic Mini-Z MR-02 MM 2.8mm DPS Mount
|
|
This mount slightly raises your DPS in order to get a little more clearance and better suspension movement fore and aft.
|
0 Degree Aluminum Front Tie Rod
|
|
Atomic Mini-Z AWD Aluminum Front Tie Rod 0°
|
|
If you want your car to track straight, aluminum is a must. 0 degree provides for good initial steering and high speed stability Atomic is our choice here.
|
High End Modified Motor
|
|
Atomic Stock R Evolution Motor
|
|
During Cup Races we run the provided hand out motors, but for practice and club racing we like the faster Atomic Stock R. It has loads of bottom-end punch and screams on the top end.
|
Titanium Screws
|
|
Atomic Mini-Z MR-02 Titanium Screw Set
|
|
The Titanium screws shave a few grams off the car, will never strip, and they look great.
|
Atomic Mini-Z Stainless King Pins
|
|
Atomic Mini-Z MR-02 Stainless King Pins
|
|
These are harder and smoother than their stock counterparts. This translates into smoother and more consistent suspension action in the front of the car.
|
Atomic SSG Medium H Plate
|
|
Atomic Mini-Z MR-02 MM SSG T-Plate Medium
|
|
If you want consistent suspension action, carbon fiber is the way to go. This plate allows the rear suspension to return effectively to their "center" point allowing for the car to turn consistently the same left to right.
|
2x2 FET Stack
|
|
Miscellaneous Labor - 2x2 FET Stacking
|
|
This is the ideal stack on the MR-02. With cup competition having open electronics in the modified class, we maximize the speed handling capabilities of the car by adding 2 stacks of 4562 FETs to the PCB.
|
Assembly and Blueprinting
|
|
|
Miscellaneous Labor - Assembly and Blue Printing of Car
|
|
This is a racing machine, so it needs to be assembled like one. With this blueprinting service we make sure that all parts are working smoothly, as well as do the additional "tricks”" to maximize the performance of your car. Amongst these tricks, is the ultimate diff assembly, polishing of the front kingpins and disk damper as well as trimming of the shock mounting bridge to fit the 2x2 FET stack.
